Wait before you buy pink salt! Are you using pink salt for preserving, like bacon, or are you using a "gourmet" salt, like himalayan, hawaiian, or grey sea salt. They are very different. If using for preserving I usually buy it from a butcher (like The Fatted Calf) a spice shop, or online.
I have seen a pink salt that comes from the Himilaya Mountains. You might be able to find it at a well-stocked grocery store like Whole Foods. If you can't find it, just substitute it with another salt. The Himilayan salt I have seen is often a coarser grain, but I have also seen fine-grained as well.
